Steve Bannon Ventures Into Hostile Territory (Canada)

[Ponca Dan]

To debate David Frum in front of considerably more than 17 people. I know, I know, you’re a busy person, you don’t have time (an hour & a half) to listen to a civil discussion. Who wants to listen to someone with a view different from yours. Hell, you might have to consider changing your mind about something. How terrifying that would be! Yet that is what happened to the Canadian audience.

Yep....no superiority complex revealed in your posts.

Bannon? We talking about Steve Bannon? Bannon? Sheesh.

It's like the great philosophers from Butthole Surfers said, "You never know just how you look through other people's eyes."

Ponca thinks he's coming across as well meaning and educational. When in fact he's coming across as preachy and condescending.

It rings hollow when a man who was a former Vice President at Goldman Sachs talks about populism, as if he’s not one of the “elite”.

Preachy and condescending is exactly the look I was going for! Mission accomplished!

Why?

Why?

I don’t know how to post in blue.

Actually I knew I would get at least one response like ostatedchi’s, but I didn’t really care. I watched the entire debate and found myself agreeing more with Frum than Bannon, which surprised me a little. (Not that I agreed with either one of them very much.). And I was really surprised to see how radically different was the post-debate vote from the pre-debate’s. Especially considering how hostile the crowd was toward Bannon in the beginning.

My smart-assed remark in the OP was mainly aimed at the attitude so many people have that they think they already know what a speaker is going to say, and since they already know they are not going to agree and will dislike it they decide to tune it out, refusing to consider an alternate view.

It was a smart-assed remark aimed at proving how superior I am intellectually (once again, blue).
